On April 28, 2011 Donald P. Bellisario and Belisarius Productions initiated a lawsuit against CBS Broadcasting Incorporated and its subsidiary CBS Entertainment, alleging that the development and production of NCIS: Los Angeles constituted a breach of several preexisting contracts and an infringement of Bellisario's rights as the creator of NCIS (series) and as the co-creator of JAG (series). It is unknown what effect, if any, the lawsuit had on this season.
